Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares

But now, in the shorter term, it looks as though the tiny AIM-listed company will be shifting its focus to sourcing fertiliser from producers to then sell on, earning a cut of the proceeds for acting as the middle man.

I would also assume that payment for the 50000mT of fertiliser, and transportation, would have to be up front…
